Question

Explain me ch French revolution

Answer 1

The French Revolution (French: Révolution française [ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz]) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799, and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies.[1] Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history

Answer 2

The French Revolution was a social and political conflict, with various periods of violence, which convulsed France and, by extension of its implications, other nations of Europe that faced supporters and opponents of the system known as the Old Regime. It began with the self-proclamation of the Third State as National Assembly in 1789 and ended with Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat in 1799.


Although, after the First Republic fell after Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat, the political organization of France during the nineteenth century oscillated between republic, empire and constitutional monarchy, the fact is that the revolution marked the final end of feudalism and Of absolutism in that country,  and gave birth to a new regime where the bourgeoisie, sometimes supported by the popular masses, became the dominant political force in the country. The revolution undermined the foundations of the monarchist system as such, beyond its rattles, to the extent that it overthrew it with a discourse and initiatives capable of rendering it illegitimate.


According to classical historiography, the French Revolution marks the beginning of the Contemporary Age by laying the foundations of modern democracy, which places it at the heart of the nineteenth century. It opened new political horizons based on the principle of popular sovereignty, which will be the driving force of the revolutions of 1830, 1848 and 1871.
